After spending $1 billion on a failed border security fence project, the Homeland
Security Department restarted the project a couple of years ago. But it didn't get
far. A $145 million award for seven new surveillance towers has been halted thanks
to a successful protest. Raytheon filed the protest against the winning bidder,
EFW, an affiliate of the Israeli defense contractor Elbit. The Government
Accountability Office sustained the protest. In this week's legal loop segment,
Procurement Attorney Joe Petrillo joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal
Drive to sort out the case.
